Parenting in today’s world is not for the faint of heart—and emotional intelligence may be one of your most powerful, overlooked tools in raising a resilient, Christ-centered daughter. In this insightful conversation, American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay sits down with Christ-centered leadership coach and author Vic Clesceri to unpack how Emotional Intelligence (EI) transforms the way we parent.

You’ll hear about: What Emotional Intelligence actually is—and why it matters for moms and dads How subtle "saboteurs" like perfectionism, fear, or the need for control undermine our parenting Tools and daily practices to help you lead your daughter with emotional clarity and Biblical compassion Whether you’re in the trenches of toddlerhood or navigating the teen years, this episode offers hope and clarity. God is with you, and He has equipped you to parent with wisdom, peace, and purpose.

Is your daughter shutting down emotionally—retreating behind “I’m fine” and silence when life feels too big? In a world that often confuses resilience with repression, many girls grow up without the tools or trust to process their emotions in a healthy, God-honoring way. This episode is here to help change that. Join co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden as they explore how to build emotional bridges with your daughter, not barriers. From personal stories of girlhood to faith-rooted wisdom, this episode will equip you with simple, practical ways to create a safe space for vulnerability—while still pointing your girl toward Christ.

This is a conversation for every parent who longs to connect with their daughter’s heart—and guide her toward the God who understands and cares for her completely. Scriptures Referenced in This Episode: James 1:19 – “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” 1 Peter 5:7 – “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” Psalm 34:18 – “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com .

منذ 9 أيام21:42

From toddler tantrums to teen drama, it’s easy to spot the signs of self-focus in our daughters—but it’s harder to correct that trajectory in a culture that rewards self-obsession.

The desire to be liked is natural—but left unchecked, it can quietly shape your daughter’s identity in unhealthy, even addictive ways.

In this must-listen episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose dive deep into the social and spiritual undercurrents of girls' need for affirmation. Together, they unpack how a girl’s early development can fuel her craving for praise—and how loving, intentional parenting can redirect that desire toward the One whose love never wavers. You’ll hear candid personal stories from both hosts, powerful Scriptural truths, and timely insights from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay in the Raising Godly Girls Minute. You’ll also learn how to reframe your daughter’s attention-seeking behavior, not as manipulation, but as a longing to be seen, known, and loved. This episode doesn’t just name the problem—it offers the Christ-centered path out. In this episode, you’ll explore: How girls’ early need for affirmation can spiral into an identity crisis if left unaddressed The “Hawthorne Effect” and what it reveals about your daughter’s desire to be seen The difference between “fitting in” and standing out for Christ (Philippians 2:15, Romans 8:5) How to help your girl root her confidence in Colossians 3:2 living—setting her mind on things above Practical steps to break the approval addiction and reestablish her identity in Christ Scriptures Referenced: Philippians 2:15 — “...shine like stars in the sky.” Romans 8:5 — “Those who live according to the flesh...” Colossians 3:2 — “Set your minds on things above...” John 15:5 — “Abide in me and I in you...” This episode reminds you that your daughter’s desire to be liked isn’t the problem—it’s where she looks for that affirmation that matters most. Help her turn from the fleeting approval of the world to the everlasting love of her Heavenly Father. And as a mom, be encouraged: your voice, your presence, and your daily words of truth are shaping the next generation of confident, Christlike women.

منذ 28 يومًا32:30

32:30

Today’s episode is a must-listen for every parent who wants their daughter’s education to be rooted in more than just grades and test scores. When it comes to shaping a girl’s heart, soul, and mind, discipleship doesn’t end at church—it starts at home. And for an increasing number of families, that includes homeschooling. This weekend on the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, host Patti Garibay welcomes back Yvette Hampton—host of The Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast and producer of the powerful documentary Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution. Yvette shares her heartfelt journey into homeschooling and offers an honest, hope-filled perspective on how parents can teach both truth and academics with confidence—even if they feel unqualified. In a time when nearly 4 million children in the U.S. are homeschooled, this conversation tackles what’s driving the movement, the cultural pressures families are pushing back against, and how homeschooling allows space for Biblical worldview development, daily discipleship, and deep family connection. Yvette encourages moms and dads to remember that education isn’t just about passing on knowledge—it’s about passing on faith. In this episode, you’ll gain: Encouragement to embrace your God-given role as both parent and spiritual teacher Insight into how homeschooling supports God’s design for discipleship in the family Practical advice for integrating Scripture and truth into daily lessons A reminder that even if you feel like you’ve “missed the mark,” God is not finished writing your family’s story Resources for building Christ-centered community and courage in your homeschool journey Scriptures Referenced: Proverbs 22:6 – “Train up a child in the way he should go…” Deuteronomy 6:6–7 – “Impress [God’s commands] on your children…” Whether you’re new to homeschooling or simply rethinking how your home supports your child’s faith, this episode is a powerful reminder that education is never just academic—it’s spiritual. You don’t need credentials to teach your daughter about Christ. You just need conviction, consistency, and the courage to walk in obedience. And as Yvette shares, when you build your daughter’s education on the foundation of God’s Word, you’re preparing her not just for college—but for the Kingdom.

Ep. 246 — Called but Not Ready: Leading Your Kids in Faith When You Don’t Feel Qualified 22:06

منذ 4 weeks22:06

22:06

Do you ever feel like you’re not qualified to lead your daughter spiritually? Maybe you didn’t grow up with strong faith role models, maybe you struggle to read Scripture consistently, or maybe you’re overwhelmed by the thought of answering your child’s deep questions about God. If so—you’re not alone. And this episode is for you. This week on the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden offer real talk and reassuring truth for every mom who feels inadequate when it comes to spiritual leadership. Together, they tackle the lie that says “you’re not equipped” and replace it with God’s truth: if He called you to it, He will carry you through it. You don’t need to be a Bible scholar to disciple your daughter—you just need a willing heart and the faith to take the next step. Drawing from personal stories, Scripture, and relatable insight, Rachael and Melissa unpack how to lead your home in faith while learning and growing yourself. They remind listeners that spiritual formation isn’t a performance—it’s a relationship. And the best discipleship doesn’t happen in perfect devotionals, but in everyday moments of honesty, humility, and love. In this episode, you’ll be encouraged to: Trust that God chose you on purpose to raise your daughter—and He doesn’t make mistakes Embrace discipleship as a journey you walk with your child, not something you have to master beforehand Find your voice as a spiritual leader by speaking truth out loud and modeling dependence on God Build confidence through community, mentorship, and resources like AHG curriculum and the Raising Godly Girls Guide to Biblical Worldview Let go of the pressure to “have it all together,” and instead, learn the beauty of being a co-learner in God’s Word Scriptures Referenced: Proverbs 22:6 – “Train up a child in the way she should go…” Deuteronomy 6:6–7 – “Impress [these commands] on your children…” Ephesians 5:1–2 – “Be imitators of God… and walk in love…” It’s okay if you don’t have all the answers. What matters most is showing up with humility, pointing your daughter to Jesus, and trusting that God’s grace fills every gap. In fact, the moments when you feel the weakest may be the very places where your daughter sees the strength of Christ most clearly.

Ep. 245 — God’s Design for Discipleship Starts in Your Living Room 32:11

منذ 5 weeks32:11

32:11

What if the most powerful place to disciple your daughter isn’t a classroom, a church, or a camp—but your own living room? In this practical and heartfelt episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden invite you to recenter your family life around God’s original design for discipleship: one that starts at home, in the rhythms of everyday parenting. In a culture where spiritual formation is often outsourced to Sunday school or youth group, Scripture calls parents to be the first and most enduring voice of truth in their children’s lives. But let’s be honest—between laundry piles, dinner prep, and constant to-dos, that kind of intentionality can feel overwhelming. Today’s episode encourages you to shift your mindset, embrace holy interruptions, and trust that God is present and powerful in your home—even in the mess. You’ll hear honest stories about motherhood, homeschooling, and discipleship through dinnertime devotions, tough conversations, and the daily chaos of real life. Rachael and Melissa unpack how Deuteronomy 6 isn’t just theory—it’s a roadmap for forming your girl’s faith through consistency, curiosity, and connection. You’ll leave this episode reminded that you don’t need to be a trained theologian to raise a girl who knows, loves, and lives for Jesus. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why your home is the most formative place for faith and worldview development How to transform ordinary moments—like bedtime, car rides, and family meals—into discipleship opportunities Practical, age-appropriate tools to help your girl own her faith, ask big questions, and grow in Biblical literacy Encouragement for busy moms feeling the weight of spiritual responsibility—and the grace to know God works through your willingness, not your perfection How American Heritage Girls supports and amplifies home discipleship through Christ-centered community Scriptures Referenced: Deuteronomy 6:6–7 – “Impress [God’s commands] on your children…” Mark 10:14 – “Let the little children come to Me…” Proverbs 22:6 – “Train up a child in the way she should go…” Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com .

Ep. 243 — A Legacy of Ministering in Your Family 27:29

منذ 5 weeks27:29

27:29

Ministry isn’t a job title—it’s a way of life. In this powerful Thursday episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose unpack what it means for families to embrace ministry as both a calling and a legacy. Whether you're a family of pastors, faithful volunteers, or simply parents trying to serve Jesus through everyday moments, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to let your family’s light shine brightly in the world. Through heartfelt stories—from Rich Mullins’ radical generosity to the everyday acts of preschool volunteering and neighborhood service—Rachael and Natalie illustrate that ministry can happen anywhere: around the kitchen table, in the car, at a church workday, or even in the checkout line. You'll be reminded that a Kingdom impact doesn’t require a pulpit, just a posture of obedience. You’ll also hear from AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay in a special Raising Godly Girls Minute that paints a picture of young girls ministering to hospital patients through simple, Spirit-led acts of compassion. It’s a moving reminder that no one is too young—or too ordinary—to be used by God.

Ep. 242 — Bridging the Generational Gap with Your Girl 24:21

منذ 6 weeks24:21

24:21

“Mom, it’s not the 1900s anymore.” If you’ve ever heard a variation of this phrase from your daughter, you’re not alone. While each generation brings its own slang, styles, and standards, the gap between “then” and “now” can either divide us—or become fertile ground for discipleship. In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose lean into the tension many families feel across generations, offering insight, laughter, and wisdom to help you connect more deeply with your daughter. This conversation is part of our special week on Multi-Generational Ministry, and today’s episode explores how parents can resist the pull of presentism—the assumption that today’s ideas are inherently better—and instead practice humility, curiosity, and Christlike love across generational lines. You’ll hear stories about misunderstood YouTube trends and lively car conversations that became spiritual breakthroughs, plus practical tools for navigating those head-to-head moments with grace instead of frustration. You’ll also hear a thought-provoking Raising Godly Girls Minute from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus, Patti Garibay, reminding us that while younger and older generations may approach the world differently, unity is possible when all are rooted in the pure Gospel of Jesus. When your daughter knows she’s both seen and guided, she’s more likely to extend the same grace back to you—and to her generation. If you’re parenting a Gen Z or Gen Alpha girl and wondering how to build trust, foster understanding, and grow in faith together, this episode offers a refreshing, Gospel-centered perspective on what it means to bridge the generational divide in your home.

Motherhood is a sacred calling—but it can also be exhausting. From sleepless nights to emotionally draining days, moms often give everything to everyone else… leaving themselves running on empty. In this heartfelt and hope-filled episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, host Patti Garibay, Founder & Executive Director Emeritus of American Heritage Girls, welcomes Sherri Crandall, Vice President of Global Ministries and Leadership Experience at The MomCo, to unpack the one powerful question every burned-out mom must answer: What do you want Me to do for you? (Mark 10:51). Drawing from a recent Barna Group study with The MomCo revealing that 50% of Christian moms long for support from their church in the area of mental wellness, this episode leans into the truth that asking for help isn't weakness—it's wisdom. Together, Patti and Sherri discuss the stigma moms feel around needing support, the Gospel’s invitation to release guilt and shame, and how to create space for real, vulnerable community in our homes, churches, and hearts. Through Biblical wisdom, relatable stories, and encouraging guidance, Sherri equips moms to take their first steps toward healing and renewal—spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. From practical ways to model vulnerability to your daughter to the importance of honest prayer and soul-care, this conversation reminds listeners that Jesus sees you, knows your needs, and gently asks, What do you want Me to do for you? If you’re a mom feeling weary, unseen, or overwhelmed, this episode is your invitation to exhale, reflect, and receive. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry it all alone.

Ep. 240 — Brave Enough to Ask: Teaching Daughters Biblical Dependence 26:11

منذ 6 weeks26:11

26:11

She’s smart. She’s capable. She’s independent. But is she brave enough to ask for help? In a culture that idolizes self-sufficiency and pushes girls to “be your own hero,” many daughters are quietly drowning under the weight of silent struggles—too afraid to reach out for fear of being seen as weak, too used to hearing that needing others is a flaw. But what if asking for help isn’t weakness at all? What if it’s wisdom? This week on the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden dive into one of the most countercultural lessons a parent can teach their daughter: how to embrace Biblical dependence. With honesty, humor, and Scripture, they unpack how girls today are wrestling with anxiety, control, and perfectionism—and how learning to ask for help might just be the freedom they’ve been praying for. Drawing from Isaiah 41:10 and Galatians 6:2, this episode encourages moms to model courageous vulnerability and practical interdependence. Through personal stories, faith-based parenting tips, and a powerful RGG Minute from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay on the link between anxiety and control, this conversation will help you identify where your daughter needs support—and how you can help her ask for it with confidence. In this episode, you’ll learn: How to normalize asking for help in everyday moments with your daughter Practical ways to teach her to discern what’s hers to carry—and what belongs in God’s hands Why modeling your own dependence on God and community is essential in her discipleship How AHG equips girls to grow through mentorship, community, and Christ-centered leadership Scriptures Referenced: Isaiah 41:10 – “I will strengthen you and help you…” Galatians 6:2 – “Carry each other’s burdens…” James 1:5 – “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God…” When your daughter learns that strength isn’t found in doing it all alone—but in leaning on Christ and His people—she will walk through life with resilience, grace, and godly wisdom. So let’s model that truth boldly. Let’s raise girls who are strong enough to admit when they’re not okay, wise enough to ask for help, and faithful enough to believe that God will answer.

You’re doing all the things—but you’re worn thin. And beneath the smiles, the sports pickups, the dinner prep, and the late-night laundry, you wonder: Am I the only one who feels like I can’t keep up? In this honest and hope-filled episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden speak directly to the weary heart of the overwhelmed Christian mom. Together, they unpack the invisible load modern mothers carry—and the dangerous lie that asking for help is a form of spiritual failure. But the Bible tells a different story. From Moses to the early Church, God’s Word is rich with examples of leaders who were never meant to go it alone. Through personal stories—including Rachael’s life-changing health scare and Melissa’s practical advice on why you should always say yes to a Meal Train—this episode offers permission to release the pressure and embrace God’s provision through community. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why asking for help is not weakness—but Biblical wisdom (Galatians 6:2, Exodus 18) Three simple ways to begin asking for help today, grounded in Scripture How overcommitment, lack of rest, and self-reliance may be affecting your daughter’s discipleship Practical rhythms for sustainable motherhood, including prayerful yeses and sharing the load How American Heritage Girls provides not only support for your daughter—but sacred sisterhood for you Scriptures Referenced: Galatians 6:2 – “Carry each other’s burdens...” Exodus 18:17–18 – “What you are doing is not good…” James 1:5 – “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God...” Proverbs 11:14 – “In an abundance of counselors there is safety.” John 15:13 – “Greater love has no one than this…” You were never meant to carry it all alone, mom. God sees your exhaustion—and He’s already provided help through His Word, His Spirit, and His people. May this episode remind you that surrender is strength, dependence is discipleship, and asking for help is one of the holiest things you can model for your girl.
